LIMIT clause extremely slow

От

Hi,

 

I have an issue using a limit clause, f.ex.

 

SELECT * FROM table WHERE (index1 > 1 OR (index1 = 1 AND index2 > 5)) ORDER BY index1, index2 LIMIT 1

 

index1 and index2 are index fields of datatype integer.

 

This takes some 100 times longer than in Mysql or other databases under same conditions (and I have to repeat this command very often, so time is adding up).

I have read in some forums that you can fasten it up by saying

ORDER BY index1 + 0, index2 + 0

The result is better, but still very slow.

 

Using version 16.1

 

Thanks for your help and best regards, Florian Melzer

Can you show the output of the query running under EXPLAIN ANALYZE ... ?

This is not a bug; at worst, it is a performance problem.

For good performance, rewrite the query to

  SELECT * FROM "table"
  WHERE (index1, index2) > (1, 5)
  ORDER BY index1, index2
  LIMIT 1;

and make sure you have an index on (index1, index2).
